Great Gable // Hiking Vlog #9

Filmed on Wednesday 9th January 2019
Great Gable is an impressive mountain to observe from the surrounding fells but it is as equally impressive to explore.
In this vlog I set off from Wasdale heading towards Sty Head. The aim of the day is to explore around the Great Napes area.
Unfortunately time was against me towards the end and fatigue began to set in so the decision to abandon a visit to Napes Needle was a wise one - It just means I need to go back!

It's catch up time again. I must say I love the music you picked, the heart beat rhythm is so fitting. Astounding views, they never disappoint me. Thank you for showing us all places that many of us can't reach. 🤩👍

[@ajollygoodchap]

You're videos are bloody excellent! I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Lakeland Tourism should be paying you royalties!

[@philipburke1708]

Quite literally inspirational. I'II be doing this route after watching your video. Many thanks, Phil.

[@hannahmorrisbouldering]

Looks like an absolutely gorgeous hike. Your photography is really lovely too. :)

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you very much :-) It was a brilliant day out.

[@stephenthompson1998]

Great scenery your videos just show what I have missed, wonky knee and too old now. Really appreciate your vlogs.👍

[@nigelthompson1058]

Another great vlog. Love the way you show a panoramic view and label the fells. I love understanding the geography of the fells, in relation to the towns and to each other. Have you ever seen the Tubular Fells map in the style of the London underground?? Really clever idea.

[@sheffycity]

Hiya Craig Thank you for another amazing walk with beautiful views you was very quick butting your tent away looking forward to the next walk on the sofa and cuppa don’t forget ya camera next time 😊

[@CharlesP69]

Recently discovered your channel via your amazing Instagram gallery. I love both your vlogs and your photography. Your knowledge of the lakes is outstanding and your passion shines through the videos. Please keep up the good work in 2019. I can’t wait for your next vlog instalment!

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you very much, that's great feedback :-)

[@nicolabolton3185]

The opening is the reason why we’re mates 😂👌🏼

[@annechappers5013]

See... It's happens to the best people 😂

[@BlackCrag]

Haha 😂 Need some new shoes 👍

[@jessicaconnor4063]

We did Great gable covered in cloud and mist and the descent through the scree was hairy to say the least.. Great video!

[@farsawreylandscape7049]

Great work Crag. Love the hill overlays, drone shots and commentary. Great content all round. Thank you.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, that's great feedback and fires me up to do more 👍

[@juliecarter9540]

Just discovered you and will catch up and watch all your vlogs, on my 3rd now, drone footage and photography is amazing. Enjoy the snippets of history too. We are new to The Lakes and constantly learning from your great knowledge.

[@markpursglovephotography]

I'm having a bit of a Black Crag binge today, great videos. cheers.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Mark, really pleased you're enjoying them :-)

[@kennybrydges9084]

I walked this on Remembrance Sunday, it was packed on top, a short service was held 2001 , thanks fir the trip down memory lane , all the best Kenny 👍

[@jacobmurray6543]

Always a good day when I watch one of your videos👌

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much mate, awesome that you enjoy them 🙌

[@JamesRBurnsVLOG]

I’m just enjoying going through your videos having done most of the same hikes. Funnily enough I had similar conditions up Great Gable around 4 years ago. I watched your Sca Fell pike vlog and you’ve got my interest in Piers Gill. I’m planning a hike up Lingmell over Xmas. Looking forward to it. Great work by the way👍👍

[@johngodfrey2340]

Amazing I know where I’m going next. Absolutely superb vlogs mate. ❤️⛰👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊

[@Kate39813]

Another great one, loving the vlogs

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much, thanks for taking the time to watch 🙏

[@sallyp8725]

Great vlog again, you picked a cracking day for it. Some amazing views 😍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much....I've been trying to stick with dry clear days so that views are enjoyable on the videos :-)

[@jamiecraig5126]

Great video, amazing quiet day for it! I had the same, three walkers were lost trying to find Scaffel pike at the stretcher box, I told them to head back down to wasdale. That night my boss was called out on a rescue, for three walkers. I would love more women to get into walking, but it's hugely important that you learn to read a map first.

[@beardbootsandblisters9129]

Great video! You have to tell my how you make your selfie stick invisible! Ps. Love the hat

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much bud, glad you enjoyed it 😊🙌

[@robertlloyd5463]

Cracking work as usual mate!! Looked like a beautiful day too!! Nice outtake at the start too!! Whoops 😂

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Rob 👊 Yeah, it was a cracking day to be alive 🙌

[@willbo2000]

Cracking stuff mate, fantastic views, great territory 👍👍👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Will, it certainly is an amazing part of the Lakes 😍

[@malcoppock4255]

Love this, great video,great commentary stunning views and walk. Not being on that side yet , I think it looks better than Scarfell pike etc.

[@RobLawson1982]

Love it again. At some point these videos will be massively popular because they're excellent, so I'll post comments while you'll still see them haha. Can't get there this weekend but maybe next. The views look fantastic but I'd probably have to try the cheating route from Honister as Wasdale is the wrong side of the Lakes for me on a day trip. I tried Green Gable once but as usual it was too foggy to see anything so was pointless. But keep up the great work. I love watching these videos when I can't actually be there. Cheers.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much Rob and thank you for your support and belief 🙏 Hope you're able to get up here soon.... Honister is a great route in 👌

[@ta-dahh]

Another belter mate. Cheers

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Steve 😊👍

[@patriciadoherty6641]

Great friday night viewing :-)

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊 🙏

[@bmirfin]

Another pearl in your Oyster! Keep them coming! Where you went, is the same type of terrain I spent my life climbing. For me, the craggier, and steeper the scree-scrambles, and dried up waterfalls I could find, the better the adrenalin rush I got! Now I struggle up the dam stairs! Lol. This is just a tip for my hopes from you, (pretty please, LOL); If you say or heading up to a, or the, summit, turn the camera to show what summit your going up? Plus you mention another particular summit in the distance, perhaps suddenly turn the camera to show where it is? That helps me to get the bearings on where 'it' is, in relation to you? You do a lot of that already I know, but it sort of 'fine tunes' your great scenes, so I just hope for more, in order to keep the memories of where I once stood. I wonder if clipping the camera high to your shoulder strap, to keep the camera rolling while closing in, and up on to the craggy edges of each summit, (just an extra, from your pleasing Vlogs?). Lol.

[@Gmanxie]

Hi mate, what audio set up is that? Wireless? Good vid too man.

[@bilaltahir9978]

Does it normally snow on great gable in November? Was planning to go this Nov and wondered if I need microspikes?

[@Johnlancaster]

just come across channel. late night for me in store

[@BlackCrag]

😂 Thanks so much 🙌

[@simonoldfield8058]

How do you make your selfy stick invisible m8

[@crlclssic]

Where did you get your invisible selfie stick from lol

[@BlackCrag]

That would be revealing trade secrets 😂

[@iang-lb7nx]

Great video and makes a change for someone to talk to the viewer and not just put crap music other the top. I'm supposed to be going up there tomorrow but bit scared.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Hope you had a good walk 🎉

[@Adywebb123]

Great videos but. I don’t want sit watching you all the time. You in almost every scene. 1 or 2 nbut not all the bloody time. I want to see the scenery. So I’ve unliked and haven’t subscribed.

[@nigelthompson1058]

Think you are seriously in the minority fella but each to their own
